A remarkable statuary in wood, clay and bronze flourished between A.D. 800 et 1700 in the region of the Inland Delta of the Middle Niger region in Mali. The Paleo-Style is one of the most important achievement of the Mande oikumene from original Greek meaning of a “civilized” world and whose centre of gravity is today in the sacred shrineof Kangaba in Mali.
